An impeccably faithful, beautifully played and occasionally languorous adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic novel.

Not for literary purists, but if you like your entertainment well tailored, then feel the quality and the width.

Time Out
Like the novel, Lean's meditative, graceful film laments and marvels at the mysteries of human behavior.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: 3/4 --
Lean's visually appealing film frequently connects as a social satire and a mystical melodrama of transgressors looking for footholds in psychically threatening territory.
Groucho Reviews
Rating: 4/4 --
Forster's novel is one of the literary landmarks of this century, and now David Lean has made it into one of the greatest screen adaptations I have ever seen.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Lean isn't on his A-game here, but the film isn't bad.
Filmcritic.com
Rating: 4/5 --
The film is very much 'a full theatrical meal,' and one that conveys a lot of 'the multiplicity of life' one seldom sees on the screen these days.
New York Times
Product Description:
David Lean returned to filmmaking after a 14-year absence to direct this award-winning adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel. Adela Quested (Judy Davis), a young and spirited Englishwoman, travels to India alongside the somewhat older Mrs. Moore (Peggy Ashcroft). Mrs. Moore's hope is that her son, an administrator in the British Raj, and Adela will wed. Once in India, the two women pay scant heed to the customs followed by English society. They even agree to accompany a "native"--the charming and educated Dr. Aziz (Victor Banerjee)--on a tour of the mystical, ancient Marabar Caves. But their innocent outing turns ugly when Adela emerges from the cave's darkness accusing Aziz of rape. British authorities eagerly pursue--even pressure--Adela to go to court. The truth, however, is not as clear as the bigoted colonial government believes it is.
